One beauty blogger said how amazing the palette is, and all I could think was "did we look at the same thing?" Urgh, I'm conflicted in the sense that did she really think it or did she just get a good one? :\

I saw that Karen from MUBB posted a pretty positive review of the palette, which just goes to show how subjective such things can be. Her review mentions that the palette would be great for people who like frosty finishes and that the pink is quite understated when you apply it. She likes both of those things, but for me, they're arguments against getting it. I have enough frost finishes to last me a lifetime and I'd rather have a mix of finishes in a palette and if I buy a palette with a bright pink, it's because I want the bright pink.

For me, the most interesting items remain the lipsticks (possibly all three), the nail polish and the crazy ballz. I can't see that palette making the cut. I have to save some money for other people's presents...

Well, as much as I think she is a fun blogger, I don't really take her posts too seriously. She almost never gives a bad review. I'm definitely not purchasing it, just based on my experience with the Liu palette. I know plenty of people loved it, but it didn't work for me. At that price, I wasn't willing to keep trying to make it work. This one looks like it might have the same problems.

Temptalia's review of Illusion lipstick: http://www.temptalia.com/guerlain-illusion-660-rouge-automatique-review-photos-swatches

Hmm, undecided about this one. It's pretty but I don't feel like it's a must have.

Neon's fine, but the rest of the products have neon pink on them, so that's why I don't get the orange since none of the products are actually orange.
I agree! I also love the usual beautiful gold RA lip holders! although on the bright side the color would be easy to find!! wonder if it all glows in the dark!! also, it could be worse on the balls, they could have used cardboard like they did for spring!! really need to see these in person.... btw, I was told that sparkle powder will have pink tint....

More pink than I was expecting. I wanted something plummier. Passing on this for sure.
If you can find Flirt from the Spring collection, it's a cooler, plummier version of this shade, so it might be more up your alley.

Hm... Miss T's review of the Crazy Bronzer has me kind of interested. It's not as bronze as they normally are...

I think I'll love it! I want a lot from this collection, the bronzer, the pressed and loose meteorites, the rouge g lipstick, maybe the eye palet and the grey-purpley polish. I kinda like the shimmer spray thingy too...

Looks like I might not be getting anything from this collection after all! I already have UD Catfight and it is very similar.

Me too! I find it kind of astonishing that something that looks so brown looks so peachy when swatched.

The brown isn't that dark and the pink is very bright, so I guess that makes it look like this. I was hoping it would do this. I love bronzers with pink in it, because it looks much more natural on me.

Has anyone seen the Madame Batifole lipstick in stock anywhere? My SA dropped the ball on securing one for me last week.

So I don't think of the crazy bronzer as a bronzer after getting it today... It gave me more of a wash of color. I LOVE IT! I also got the pressed meteorites and the crazy perles. Also my favorite pressed meteorites in Teint Rose are discontinued :(
